Our unexpected Sex and the City style inspiration (hint: it's not Carrie)

When you think of Sex and the City, Carrie’s incredible style (and her shoes, mostly her shoes) come to mind. Searching 'Sex and the City outfits' on Google brings hundreds of articles on the protagonist’s best looks. But that is starting to change. Another, more unexpected, character is having a bit of a moment.

Notably absent from any of the ‘influential looks’ features on the hit 90s show, Miranda's sartorial choice have been extremely overlooked. That is, until now. An incredible fan account @everyoutfitonsatc has set up a mirandasolidarity.com page selling a unique take on the famous Dior 'We Should All Be Feminists' slogan tees, instructing, instead, that ‘We Should All Be Mirandas’. We can't help but agree. Miranda is the silent hero of the show. While the other characters moan and moan, Miranda is the blunt friend adding a much-needed reality check.

The account explains, “We should all be Mirandas: smart, pragmatic, ambitious and unafraid to eat cake out of the garbage.” And to show our solidarity, here’s seven times, Miranda was the chicest of the SATC girl gang. Prepare to have mega 90s and 00s nostalgia.

While fashionistas everywhere were screaming at their television screens, we think Miranda in a full-on suit and skinny black tie was nothing short of subversive. Androgynous fashion is so hot right now, so Miranda was ahead of her time.

Oversized collars were EVERYWHERE on the autumn winter 2017 catwalks, and it seemed Miranda had anticipated this trend with her smart but sexy office-chic look. Demna Gvasalia, is this where you got your playing on proportions inspo from? Miranda was the original Vetements girl.

Unfit mother or ahead of her time? You decide. SS18 has been all hats, hats, hats; from massive straw hats at Jacequemus, to berets at Dior. All we know is that fedoras are cool, Pharrell said so. You go Miranda.

Enough of Miranda’s down time style, we love her best when she’s rocking a power suit. Everyone who’s anyone (or who’s picked up a copy of the GLAMOUR October issue) knows that suits are the modern woman’s equivalent to an LBD. It’s minimalist, chic tailoring FTW.

Sorry Miranda, we’ve given you the benefit of the doubt for most of the others but we’re not sure at all about this bracelet cuff. Take it off, throw it in the bin and let’s forget this entire nightmare ever existed.
